So last month when I went to the track I was doing pretty good...nice pace and I progressed more through the day.
I ran off the truck multiple times during the weekend all because of the same thing and I think it was my clutch.
Coming off the straight I would get to maybe around 125-130 in 4th and downshift into third then second all while rev matching and late braking hard into the corner. Right before I ran off when I would downshift into second it felt like the bike would just lose power like the clutch couldn't catch and I couldn't get through the turn.
I also noticed the clutch sometimes slipping in high rpms in 2nd gear on other parts of the track.
Is my problem that the clutch couldn't catch up fast enough to my downshifts even tho I was rev matching? This happened about 6 times during the weekend and a few were reallY scary but luckily I didn't crash.
I have done a lot of trackdays this year and this was the first time I had this issue. Bike is an 02 with about 19k+ on it. Time for a new clutch maybe?
I just don't want this to happen again if it is a mechanical issue because I could have really been hurt.
